hours which his or her office is open. Each applicant must provide
the Borough Clerk with a copy of a current and valid New Jersey driver's

at the property (i.e., parent, spouse, or child), or a tenant holding
an annual lease.
B. The Borough Clerk shall issue no more permits than the number of
designated permit-only parking spaces provided. Permits shall be issued
to residents of the Borough of Avon-by-the-Sea on a first-come-first-served
basis until the maximum number shall have been issued, after which
no further permits shall be issued. The Borough Clerk shall maintain
a waiting list of residents who request but are not issued permits
to be utilized in reissuing permits upon the revocation, forfeiture,
surrender or nonrenewal of any existing permit.
C. Permits shall be issued to residents or tenants with an annual lease
only and no more than one (1) permit shall be issued for each property
as designated by the Tax Map of the Borough of Avon-by-the-Sea. Any
current permit holders shall be considered grandfathered in for this
requirement.

31 of the year in which issued at a fee of $25 per permit.
E. The Borough Clerk shall make and keep a record of all permits issued,
including therein the number of the permit, the date of issuance,

number(s) and the make, model and color of the motor vehicle(s) for
which each permit is issued. Permits are not transferable from resident
to resident.
F. The applicant shall be responsible to apply for renewal of any validly
issued permit prior to the expiration of said permit, and in connection
therewith shall provide the same information, documentation and fees
as required for initial issuance.
G. In the event that a validly issued permit is not renewed, or is otherwise
revoked, forfeited or surrendered, the Borough Clerk shall utilize
the waiting list to notify the first and successive eligible applicants
until such permit is reissued.
Further rules and regulations pertaining to such parking areas
and to parking of motor vehicles therein may be made from time to
time by resolution of the Borough Board of Commissioners.
